Just a thought - I like the aug system implemented for epics 3.0+ - but the one thing i really miss are the skins that went with the epics. Is there any way you guys could incorporate a way to get those back into the game? Perhaps sprinkle them in throughout the tiers? One of my favorite parts of the epics was that they just looked the part - epic... Now all the weapons I've seen so far that are upgrades (I'm only in Anguish, mind you) - all look like skins from PoJustice and whatnot.

True - most of my toons minus my MA are all stick figures... but I play for the most part on my MA and when I was recently building up my grp2 toons - it was bittersweet to get past their 2.5's as I knew the skins would go from totally awesome looks - to "yay_bronze_short_sword_02".

Just a suggestion for the box. Word.

Just adding in some info - Abyss kept crashing on me tonight. Couldnt figure out what the deal was, worked just fine last night (my instance)... So in testing things - turns out i can load in my first 7 toons, no prob... but every time I get my mage to load up (off same client as other toons) - it crashes the instance.

Load mage up all by himself - click ENTER at character load screen... bam, crash.

Mages got bugs?

PS - I moved him to nexus, banished pet and zoned back in and he's stable now... must be a pet issue...

LOL can you imagine if it was an aug and someone lost a 325% xp aug b/c they accidentally forgot to take the aug out of their old mask when they upgraded and got rid of old mask?

Wow, fantastic work there!! Very nice indeed.

Just reporting my 2cp...

Did a ton of LDoN last night and drop rates on charms didnt seem anything out of the ordinary and most of the bosses werent dropping the 50ldon point tokens. No biggie on the tokens, just reporting.

Through 2 runs of HoH today in a fresh instance - 1 charm drop. Maybe I'm wrong but I could have sworn the charms were supposed to be included in teh double loot modifications for the weekend. Maybe I'm just uber unlucky but it doesnt seem like dbl loot rules are working in HoH.

Again - just passing along info.

Good News - seems to have helped, Hate. Druids are a pita but can now be bested through a tough fight. Thanks for your patience on this man, I appreciate it!

Option B

Option A

Hey - I was just rollin' with what everyone was telling me it was

details, details!!

Good deal - I'll try it out as soon as I can to see if i'm still inept.

Counted it off last night (had many chances!). Anywhere from 18-22 seconds and poof, recast at 34%.

just breaking into t5? that would be next to impossible.....

Word....

Definitely remove all his buffs at start of the fight and throughout. Have bard dispell playing full time. What I was saying was that he seems to be casting his regen at 34% - regardless of time between his last cast b/c every time he hits 34-35% - he instantly spikes back up to 44% unless you have massive massive massive amounts of DPS to overcome it. I watched him regen and then counted it off to be sure I was under the 30 sec cool down and he definitely cast it again right at 34% and it had only been like, 18-20 seconds.

The instant he healed up - I debuffed him and he stopped healing but when i had him down to 34% again - poof. Right back to 44%-ish.

That's'a my query

PS - i swear i'm not trying to be difficult here. Just exhausting all possibilities. Not trying to increase aggravation for anyone!

I know squat about 0's and 1's and I've been mistaken before (my wife would confirm for you...) - but I swear they are casting it with no cooldown which seems to be my primary issue with it. Is there any way you can check on that for me? Otherwise I just gotta stop working on Abyss and figure out how to squeeze out a boatload more dps as I'll punt my computer if more druid namers pop on me

Totally man - would have been completely screwed if you didnt come help out.

But ya - got 2 toons with UC, all have strike augs up to at least V, few VI and few VII and my grp stands zero chance against any druid-type mobs b/c of this. If they were guarnteed to have the 30 sec cool down at least - I think eventually I could have handled it but with insta-cast and no cool down. Its just a game changer.

Hey guys -

so last night I finally had the chance to go back into Abyss and test it out and sure enough - got myself a druid mob right off the bat (Mind Flayer). Wound up having the same issue so I took it to /ooc for some added help.

Had bard running his lvl 62 cancel magic spell and had monk epic on hotkey for insta click. At 34% - mob instantly heals back up to 44% (Drake) - I instantly use monk epic and mob stops healing. I dps him down and at 34% - bam - rinse, repeat... So people in /ooc tell me Drake should have a 30 sec cool down and I just have to get past that 34% before the 30 second timer is up so he wont recast Drake... So I dps away and get him down to 34% in about 15-18 seconds... and bam - 44% again. So I think the druids in there are ignoring the drake cooldown timer.

Just offering my 2cp on something that is causing heartburn.
